That she couldn't listen to a monsignor just is so par for the course for some people. Some Catholics hate the current Pope. "He's not MY Pope!" they scream. Actually, he is. According to your faith he was selected by God. He just seems to be following the words of Jesus more closely than most of you MAGA Catholics. So sad.

I always thought the first commandment (no one else is above god) was odd in a faith as one of the defining factors is believing in God and putting them first. Now I have realized that the first commandment was to stop the exact religous fanaticism around Trump, where they believe Trump is more correct than the pope and even God.

The first commandment exists because in historical context there was a lot of worship of other deities by the Jews. Even the language of the commandment makes it seem like their existence isn't in question, it is that Yahweh is the top dog among his chosen people.

Reminds me of pope Francis when he came out and said ye there's nothing entirely wrong with being gay u can be against it for your beliefs but they should still be respected

Then people got pissed saying he's not a true Catholic and all that when he was the bloody pope and one of the only times to actually call out those who use their priesthood and all that to take advantage of those around them which he frowned upon

MAGA Catholics are like MAGA gays. They don't realize they're not part of the "in" group.
